The redevelopment of Ryde Hospital reached another major milestone earlier this month with the designs of the new hospital precinct unveiled and early works due to kick off in February. 

Ryde Hospital General Manager Heather Gough said the designs showcase the expansion and upgrade of the hospital which will support the health needs of the community.

“The hospital will be transformed with new and enhanced health services,” Heather said.

The designs follow significant engagement with the local community, clinicians and key healthcare stakeholders as well as feedback from staff and consumers.

The feedback has informed key design considerations such as heritage, connection to country, the environment and green space to create a welcoming environment for patients, staff, and visitors.

Central to the design is connections with existing onsite heritage buildings including Denistone House and The Stables, and the Blue Gum High Forest, as well as green spaces.

HPAC has been appointed the early works contractor for the redevelopment and will commence works in the coming weeks, with main works expected to begin in late 2023.The early works will include internal refurbishment to prepare for the first phase of the redevelopment, demolition of three buildings
at the rear of the site, partial demolition of ground level carparking and general site preparation earthworks.
